    England Finally Beat Pakistan

    Sky News – Mon, Feb 13, 2012

    Star performances from Alastair Cook and Steven Finn have helped England to victory over Pakistan in the first one-day international in Abu Dhabi.

     

    Cook got England off to a good start, scoring 137 to help England to 260-7 in their 50 overs.

    Ravi Bopara also impressed, hitting 50, with Samit Patel (17*) and Graeme Swann (13*) also chipping in with valuable runs.

    Finn did the damage with the ball, dismissing Pakistan's top four batsmen, finishing with figures of 4-34.

    Patel also took three wickets as England bowled out their rivals for just 130.

    The result was revenge for the Tourists after a 3-0 Test series defeat.

    The second game of the series will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Wednesday.

      England ONLY won because the corrupt Pak cricketers had a corrupt bet on an England victory. Its easy money for them to do this. ALL Pak cricketers are corrupt. Just ask their prime minister who right now is being prosecuted on corruption charges. If the political leaders are corrupt, all of their citizens will be corrupt. So England did not win. Pak chose to lose so they can make BIG Rs on illegal corupt bets.
